Total Logistic Control Selects RedPrairie Warehouse Management
Business Wire, June 10, 2008
Leading 3PL chose RedPrairie for market expertise, architecture and ease of deployment
MILWAUKEE -- RedPrairie Corporation, a world leading consumer driven optimization company, announced today that Total Logistic Control (TLC) is implementing RedPrairie Warehouse Management to offer more advanced supply chain capabilities to its customers. TLC delivers Source-to-Shelf supply chain solutions for some of the industry's largest retail and CPG companies. TLC plans to implement the RedPrairie solutions at three sites over the next year.
As supply chain operations become more complex, many companies are turning to third party logistics providers (3PLs) to handle their distribution needs. RedPrairie recently introduced a new release of its supply chain suite with features that help 3PLs manage these complexities cost effectively, such as providing user control over inventory transfer of ownership and improved work management capabilities to track work and costs by client.
"We were looking to partner with a technology company that is a leader in our market space that provides a suite of supply chain products built on the latest architecture that allows us to add value to our customers. Essentially, we want the benefit of advanced functionality without the hassle of traditional customization. The RedPrairie solution provides the robust features built on SOA architecture, giving us the ability to deploy the applications ourselves without having to rely on the vendor for a lot of technical expertise," said Pete Westermann President, TLC.
"We saw our market changing. Customer requirements were becoming more complex and we needed to align ourselves with the technology to meet that change. The RedPrairie solutions will help us provide more value to our customers, such as continuous improvement in facilities where we operate, and driving out cost of ownership and operation," continued Westermann.
